I use ad blockers and open source privacy focused software whenever I can but occasionally I have to use computers that don’t belong to me or an older phone where my usual applications aren’t installed and seeing all the advertisements just feels dirty and dystopian.

I think the worst ads are the text to speech ones that say “Download this app today”. The unblinking energenic people saying you can make a living at home are probably a close second.

    I know more zoomers who don’t bother blocking ads than boomers who don’t.

    Like by a LARGE amount.

      Entire generations have been conditioned to accept ads due to the iPad, especially on YouTube.
